im goin with stoptech mostlikely the full kit, so id recommend stoptech stuff. brake pads and fluids i dunno much yet but crossdrilled rotors look better, and from what i hear the performance is not much different between slotted and crossdrilled. But personally if i could get my hands on the crossdrilled with slotted two peice rotors, id put those in.

It really depends on how much you are willing to spend. Stoptech are top notch, but pricey.

AFAIK this is the best 'upgrade' from stock, keeping the Brembo calipers:

tinman, that sound just like the kit from te perormance nissan site. thanks for the input everybody.

as far as brke fluid goes, motul or ate super blue?

and for brake pads what about the pfc 97 race pads they sell at performance nissan?

are the hawk pads better than stock brembo pads perforamnce wise or are do they just give off less dust?

thanx again

Ditto...sounds like a Stoptech Stage 2 upgrade (Brembo/Non-Brembo) is in order.

I had mine on order at Performance Nissan, but Stoptech has a problem with tooling the rotors. I ended up just getting some Raybestos Ceramic pads for the time being to keep me moving.
